5-Ingredient Spinach & Yogurt Dip
This New Year’s weekend couldn’t have been setup any better. I have four long days to relax and chill out i.e. sit on my couch and do nothing (LAUGHS!!). If you add a whole bunch of football games to the list, then it is just perfect. However, days like this are incomplete without food or to be more specific game day food. For me, chips and dip are the first things that come to mind when it comes to gameday. Accordingly, here is a simple recipe for a delectable Spinach & Yogurt Dip. It requires minimum effort and gives maximum flavor.
Game Day Weekend….
I know what y’all might be thinking. Out of everything that he could have made like chicken wings, burgers, sliders, etc. he decides to make a simple DIP!!! Bit of an anticlimax ISN’T IT?? If I were to answer the question honestly then I agree with y’all totally. In my defense, there are times when after a week of hard work, you just feel like taking the easy way out on your day off. That is pretty much what I did. Come on people don’t blame for that (CHUCKLES!!!)
Besides when there are four football games back to back on a Saturday who the hell is going to spend time in the kitchen cooking???? LAUGHS!!!.. The games were beginning exactly at noon. Which means I was in a race against time to make the recipe and take pictures by then. The most difficult part was going to be waking up a bit earlier on a Saturday nonetheless which I can proudly say I did successfully (LAUGHS!!!).

After that all I had to do was to wilt as much spinach as I could. To be honest it had to last me just enough time for my pizza to be delivered. Once that was done, I mixed in the yogurt along with some chili-garlic paste, mint powder for a little freshness and black salt for a little tang. Season that with salt and pepper and voila the dip is ready.
I completed everything and got my rear end on the couch with minutes to spare before the game began. I have a bag of chips as well as a delicious and healthy spinach dip in front of me and life couldn’t get any better. You can serve Spinach & Yogurt Dip with your favorite chips, nachos or any type of crackers or even veggies

I saw this recipe on the IG and found it very interesting. Being a South Indian I love curd and rice. I always have a bowl of homemade curd ready at home. The recipe is very easy to make and very tasty. Please don’t laugh at me when I tell you I had it with rice and not as a dip for lunch today. Even my mom loved it. Thanks for the recipe Rahul
Happy you liked it Rekha.. Food is something very personal and you should have it the way you like it.. All that matters is that you enjoy it and seems to me like you and your mom definitely did. So nothing for me to laugh at.. 🙂
Hello perfect game day dip and it looks so easy to make too! I always have fresh spinach and plain yogurt on hand so I’ll try it this weekend for Sunday football 🙂
Game day in my house is incomplete without chips and dips as well. This was definitely a fun new dip for us this time..
We LOVE This DIP! The perfect time now that the games are allowed to start up again! So healthy too. Thanks for a great recipe!
Take it from a football fan i.e. me… I have missed football a lot as well..
I made this for thursday night football and was super tasty and so easy to make. I actually forgot to buy dip for the game night, I googled and found your recipe. Since I had all the ingredients except mint powder I decided to make it. It was gone in seconds. Had to make a fresh batch in halftime. Guess what I am gonna make it again tomorrow
I am glad you liked it Mike.. Happy to help. On a side note I am a big football fan myself (GO PACKERS) so I hope the team you were rooting for that day won..
Wow, you used fresh spinach. That’s cool. What kind of crackers are those? They look good.
I decided to go for something different with the fresh spinach. As for the crackers then they are locally found in my home town of Mumbai.. 🙂
